There’s a worrying new online threat, and it’s not something anyone with a Gmail account wants to ignore. Hackers are constantly looking for new ways to attack consumers, and falling for their latest trick could hand over full access to email and other accounts. The scam starts with a message that claims to be from Google’s Support service saying that someone has attempted to access the account and a password reset is required. To make things even more convincing, the email is sometimes followed by an actual phone call. Hackers use this method in a bid to try and obtain the security code that Google sends out when a password is reset. If successful, they can then log in and steal a swathe of personal data. Which maail provider is safe since most of world email account holders use Gmail?
